a couple of tasty rants

on MTV's VMAs (of which i only caught the latter portion, but dire as this dude says indeed, what struck me was how they only played 4 seconds of each Video of the Year and even then drowned out the music almost totally with extraneous hype-hype type sound FX, showing how much the promo-as-artform/promo-as-Event has declined in recent years)

but one of her best lines(about being a pitbull in lipstick) is a bite from Eve's "What Y'All Want" viz, "pitbull in a skirt"

(well, a semi-bite)

chunks of that lyric actually fit the scenario, if you replace "Ruff Ryders" with "Republican Party"

"Puttin' it down, Ruff Ryders put in they work Snatched up the illest vicious pitbull in a skirt (Grrrrrr) Makin' em hurt, haters steady dishin' up dirt Changin' the game, settin' the rules, makin' it work"

"Leavin' 'em scared, mami takin' all of this here All of this fame I'm hungry, hope you cats is prepared Niggaz, set me up and I'ma take it and run Think it's a game? Just check out how my format is done..."

and for "thug", substitute "ReThug"

"Every thug's dream wife, see the love in they eyes? My time to shine, whole package make her a dime Want some more? It ain't over, just keep pressin' rewind"
